Nick Valentijn Console
Designer:
Nick Valentijn
The Console by Nick Valentijn marks the designer’s first exploration into welded copper, shaped freehand through weeks of experimentation and adjustment. Its exposed seams and uneven joints remain intentionally visible, preserving the process rather than concealing it. A walnut top rests above the raw copper base, creating a quiet sense of balance, while the sturdy, irregular legs echo forms that recur throughout Valentijn’s work. Crafted in shine copper and walnut, the piece feels suspended in an unresolved moment, both functional object and evolving study.

Nick Valentijn
Netherlands
Nick Valentijn is a Dutch designer working at the intersection of sculpture, improvisation, and material language. A 2024 graduate of the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Valentijn approaches metal not as a fixed medium, but as a collaborator: responsive, resistant, never entirely predictable.
Form emerges through making rather than preplanning. His process begins with loose sketches so immediate they border on automatic, minimal gestures that capture just enough to suggest a shape, where proportions are felt rather than measured and irregularities held rather than corrected.
